Fish tacos with tomato salsa
Print RecipeIngredients
- 10 (1kg) perch fillets
- 2 teaspoons finely grated lime rind
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 250g grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 small white onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves
- 10 jumbo taco shells
- 100g shredded green cabbage
- Lime wedges, to serve
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 180°C/160°C fan-forced. Cut each fish fillet into 3. Combine fish, lime rind, lime juice, oil and pepper in a large glass or ceramic dish. Turn fish to coat. Set aside for 5 minutes to let flavours develop. Combine tomato, onion and basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook fish, in batches, for 2 to 3 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Cover to keep warm.
Step 3
Heat shells following packet directions. Divide cabbage between shells. Top with fish and tomato mixture. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
We heated our tortillas following the packet directions then sprayed with a little oil and cooked on a chargrill pan to give them extra colour and flavour.
You can use white corn or wholemeal tortillas instead of flour.
